This is ridiculous. The Market used to work perfectly with 241 with a simple procedure. Now with the temp method, (reboot into 320, clear cache, diasble updater, reboot into 241 etc), it works for a while then apps starts showing as imcompatible.
With the modded vendor file for the latest Google Play, some apps I get a error msg saying "the item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."
Not sure what to do.

So it's ridiculous that the Play Store doesn't work properly with a hacked DPI setting? You think Google should provide testing and support for every single hack you want to apply to your advice? Get real.
I find the market to work fine with a DPI of 200, 220, 240, I have no issues with not being able to download apps. I use 240 as my default DPI.
Return to stock, reboot, clear market cache, open the market click accept then go back choose 240 DPI as stock, reboot, clear cache and open the market. It should work just fine.
What ROM are you using?

Or purchase LCD Density Modder Pro and this will solve your market problems with unsupported density's.
Google just began rolling out a new market update which lets you view reviews in categories. So this is prob your issue. Wait till you get the update then a new hack will start working again.

Aokp. Yes with 240 its alright. 241 gives the issue. But I use it since its fixes many things more than it ruins

Its funny because the last error msg I'm talking about has been reported at stock densities.

Okay, so I've been updating each nightly ROM and have a small issue. I've gone back to RC1v2 and the issue seems to be there too, although I am now back on the latest nightly (from 11th August).
a lot of apps I have installed - lets take Facebook as a pretty bog standard example - don't show up in the "My Apps" part of the Market app. If I search for it, it says it is installed. If there was an update then it allows me to update it, but still refuses to show it in "My Apps".
Now, if I go to the web version of the Market, it tells me that Facebook is "incompatible with my T-Mobile MB525". Clearly it's lying.
I've tried clearing cache and data from the Market app - still no joy.
I've tried taking the ro.build.fingerprint line of a Defy running stock 2.2 - no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem?
How can I fix it?
Yes I always have this no matter which rom I have.
You can get it to show all apps after you update or download a new app on the market.

Edit just tried it again amd it didn't work this time!
Edit 2 after clearing the cache (after downloading a new app from the market) it now shows all my apps.

No - that's not helping. For example, I've just searched for "chess" on my phone's market app, found one and installed it. the app does not show in "My Apps", and nor do any other supposedly incompatible ones. Market on web shows installed, and yet incompatible, screen attached.
Right that's a different issue to what I was thinking.
I used to have something similar to this when I was originally on eclair & tried to download apps from the market on my laptop - said they were incompatible as they were for a more recent Android version.
Sorry can't help any further as I've not had the issue on CM7.
hmm - bizarrely I just installed the latest nightly (1116), and now all my market works again. I'm confused, but somewhat happier.
now, if I can just work out why my patcher isn't working to get transparency theming I'll be sorted...

and now it doesn't. Clearly I'm doing something to cause this. Time for an investigation.
okay - the incompatibility comes when I try to rename the camera shutter sound. command I'm using is: mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bak
Why would that cause this issue?
or apparently any command after mounting /system - at random. I give up.
In case anyone else IS following my ramblings here, I've changed ROM to WajkIUI, done nothing in the system folder, and still have incompatibility in the market.
Reloading a ROM was getting the market working - now not. The whole thing beats me.
gapps
Try flashing the latest gapps from here.
Another idea, try flashing a full nordic stock 2.2 sbf from scratch and applying CM7 again.
thanks - I'm already on the latest gapps.
I don't think flashing the sbf etc again would help, as like I've said - flashing a ROM usually fixes the problem, then I go and change stuff in /system (renaming the camera sound files, and uninstalling OI File Manager so I can get the later version in the market).
Custom dpi (lcd density) seems to cause the "incompatible" problem with the new market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196417
Going back to 240 dpi and clearing market data makes everything work as it should.
You can then go back to your custom dpi, but most users are reporting the problem comes back after a while.

You're a star. That solved it. Thanks!
I had this issue also. The LCD density fix did nothing for me
i had to make changes to the build.prop file
below are the changes i made
original:
ro.build.description=umts_jordan-user 2.2.1 3.4.2-107_JDN-9 34.4.9 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/jordan_tmo_us/umts_jordan/jordan:2.2.1/3.4.2-107_JDN-9/34.4.9:user/release-keys
replaced the above lines with:
ro.build.description=umts_jordan-user 2.2.1 3.4.2-107_JDN-9 34.4.9 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/jordan_tmo_us/umts_jordan/jordan:2.2.1/3.4.2-107_JDN-9/34.4.9:user/release-key
these came from my stock froyo TMO ROM
am I blind, or did you really replace two lines with two identical lines?
I had a similar issue, but for some reason I have multiple accounts on for my market and the apps seem to get randomly assigned to another gmail account and will only show up when I go to that account.
I have not had any issues with the compatibility however, and I haven't flashed a new nightly since the end of Sept. but I am about to go with the first Defy stable build from CM so I guess we will see. I will make sure to back-up everything.
I keep getting "This app is incompatible with your Evo" from the Android Market website and the market app (3.0.27) just doesn't give me a download button or show me updates for newer versions of some apps. It was mostly just an annoyance for a while but now the latest Facebook update came out and it won't install. I'm running CM7.1RC1 which is Android 2.3.4, although I never recall having this problem until I updated to the latest Android Market. Any ideas?
I'm also wondering if there's any good way to troubleshoot why the market thinks my device is incompatible (like some sort of reason ... android version too high, screen resolution, etc).
Solution: It turns out this is because I had modified my DPI to set it to 210 instead of 240. Once I set it back to 240 the market showed me 17 new updates. It looks like they're checking to make sure the DPI checks out ... bummer.
I installed CM7.1 nightly 202 and I was able to change my DPI and still use the market without problem. It seems the fix landed in nightly 198 or so.

Check and see if your build.prop includes this line:
Code:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120
If not, add it, reboot, and see if it works afterwards.

You could also try updating your Market to the latest version (3.1.3, I believe). There are other Sprint-related lines that might be necessary for it to work, or it might just know that you're not on a Sprint ROM and have gotten smart enough to give you a hard time about with the update to 2.3.4.
That's all I got. Sorry.
I have updated to 3.1.3 and it doesn't seem to change anything. Thanks for your help, really appreciate it.

It'd be better to put this into an EDIT on your first post for others to see first.

I had this issue a while back when flashing the wrong gapps zip
OK have rooted my phone and never had an issue. Now all of a sudden I find I can no longer download from the Market / Play store? This started last week when I downloaded the new skygo app - (Only to find it doesn't work on rooted phones)
If I use the play app - I can visit and search but when I click download and accept I just get a message "Error while downloading purchase".
If I sign into the market on my PC, my phone is showing, all previous apps are showing, I can go to the store and download - but nothing happens, the app never arrives.
Currently installed apps all update without any issues.

Already cleared app data.
Have updated the ROM to Alpha6.0 and still no dice.
Any other ideas?
Did you change your LCD Density (DPI) to a different value? The default is 240 and the Market does not always work if you change this. If this is your case then try this
clear the market data and cache
set the density back to 240 (i.e. edit system/build_prop to have ro.sf.lcd_density=240)
reboot
use the Market to update everything (hopefully it works)
set your density back to what you want
reboot

Did you use the BlackICE Icetool app to change densities? If not then you need to manually clear the Market data and reboot. Depending on your country you may need to use something like Market Enabler to pretend you are in the U.S.
Also, the newest versions of Play Store seem a bit better

Hello,
For the past few days some of the apps display a message "Your device is not compatible with this version of the app" or are plain simple missing from the store. Below is a list of such apps:

2. Flipboard - message displayed
3. Trickster Mod (free version) - missing

Yes.
Actually, I had changed it to 300. But then someone asked me the same question. So, reset it back to 320, rebooted the device and tried. Same results... .
EDIT: Checked a few more random apps in the store and facing the same issue:
4. Ninja fishing
5. Super SU
6. MD5 Checker
Not really sure but I would try to download an app that is compatible & try the one that aren't again. Maybe clearing cache & data on the Play Store would be worth a shot(?)
Could be many reasons, custom rom issue, region issue, dpi issues, build prop issue.
Clearing data seems to have done the trick. Thanks a bunch!
Hi all
I'm currently running imilka's unofficial cm10, I'm loving so far.
Only issue I've identified, at some point something changes with the play store, I seem not to be able to install 80% of my apps.
As an example, I have Google+ installed but if I browse to the play store and select it, Google play says its incompatible with my device even though its already installed.
This is the case for about 80% of my currently installed apps.
I've tried to force close and clear cache for the play store app but when I restart it I still can't install apps.
Can anyone help ?

I've never had this problem until now, I think its an issue with the new JB gapps. Can't be sure though.
I have had this problem a couple of times with PA ROM (Utaka's build) and everytime i get the issue I have factory wiped and it fixes the issue. I now always fact reset so I can clearly identify if it is a bug in the ROM or not. Cheers
play store doesnt support much dpi, if u changed dpi, it affects, to resolve, download and flash the dpi modded play store
